"King's Domain" and beyond

Oregonia, Ohio, is the "home" of King's Domain Camp and Conference Retreat Center.
Currently Hunter and I are located there on a MMAP, (Mobile Missionary Assistance Program) project. There are three couples working, with the men constructing a deck adjacent to the office building and the women doing various and asundry tasks, such as weeding a very rocky flower bed and shoveling mud away from some boards which we will paint next week. The location is beautiful, but what camp isn't? Unfortunately, or some would say fortunately, our rig is squeezed into a tiny spot with overhanging branches preventing any TV reception and poor, at best, internet connection. At times I want to complain and probably do, just ask my husband, but I try to remember we are in the class of "missionaries" and that often equates with sacrifice. So instead of technology filled free time we climb aboard the tandem and click off 30 miles on a bike trail not more than 1/2 mile from the camp which runs adjacent to a lazy river.
Week-ends are and will continue to be spent in Columbus Ohio, just an hour ride north-east where we will entertain two very active grandsons. Tomorrow I will report on Christian's soccer game-can't wait to cheer him on!!!
